Felix
Two-time C&D winner; another good effort here when third to the reopposing King's Code on Boxing Day but his losing run goes back a long way.

King's Code
Record of 6-15 on AW includes Class 3 wins over C&D under Jordan Williams on his last two starts; should go well on the hat-trick bid but a 0-9 record from a mark in the 90s suggests it may pay to look elsewhere for win purposes.

Wadacre Gomez
Has a good overall AW record but this winter's efforts make him tough to fancy here.

Metallo
Lightly raced 4yo who hasn't taken long to come to hand since returning from an absence, recording good placed efforts at Kempton (1m) and Newcastle (1m2f) in recent months; respected.

40/1 |
Tides Of War
Got up on the nod over 1m6f at Goodwood last May but found life tougher off higher marks subsequently; drops significantly in trip on return from six months off and can only be watched on his first AW start since his 2020 debut.

7/2 |
Cynosure
Hasn't finished out of the first three in five AW starts, on the latest collared only in the final strides by the reopposing Smart Hero over 8.6f here; this low-mileage 4yo is likely to give another good account.

Civil Law
Good overall record here but behind King's Code and Felix when fifth over C&D on Boxing Day and only sixth at Kempton of seven at Kempton (1m3f) since; others are more obvious.

- Smart Hero
- C Lee / J Tate

3/1 |
Smart Hero
Sometimes headstrong but has settled better in a hood the last twice, picking up well to nail the reopposing Cynosure near the finish over 8.6f here under Clifford Lee four weeks ago; likely still well handicapped if seeing out the longer trip.

9/1 |
Eagle Day
Doubled up over C&D in December; a good fourth of 16 at Chelmsford (1m) last month shows he's still on a competitive mark but he faded out of it at Lingfield a fortnight ago.

Hitched
Good effort at Southwell (1m) last week, taking his record since November to 11132123; no reason why he won't give his running again but a career best will be needed if he's to resume winning ways on this first attempt at Class 3 level.
